Burger Motorsports JB4 Tuner – BMW N55 (F-Chassis)

OVERVIEW

Plug-and-play power for the F-chassis N55, including the F87 M2, with the factory DME left completely stock. The Burger Motorsports JB4 adjusts through the engine's own sensor network instead of flashing the ECU — no VIN lock, no flash counter, and it comes back off cleanly. About 20 minutes to install with hand tools.

Which version you need comes down to wastegate type and chassis, not just model year. Pneumatic wastegate cars take the JB4_PWG, electronic wastegate cars take the JB4_EWG, and early 5 and 6 Series cars with OBDII and a Type A pneumatic wastegate take the JB4_F10_A. If you are unsure, check before ordering and we are glad to help identify it.

Additional Parts Required

• 91 octane or higher pump fuel — required for the advertised gains. An E85 blend is required for the ethanol maps.
• Correct JB4 version — JB4_PWG, JB4_EWG or JB4_F10_A must be matched to your car's wastegate type and connector.
• JB4PRO mobile app (free, iOS and Android) — used for map switching, gauges, logging and fault codes. The Bluetooth adapter is built into the unit, so no separate connect kit is needed.
• Optional: EWG add-on connector for direct electronic wastegate control, and the BMS Data Cable or JB4 Mobile cable for a wired laptop connection.

• Burger Motorsports does not publish a catalog part number for this JB4, so no part number is listed; order by JB4 version. E-chassis N55 cars use a different unit — see the JB4 Tuner N55 E Chassis.
